ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a liquid crystal display monitor, more particularly to a liquid crystal display monitor having a stand housing that can be easily configured to incorporate a universal serial bus module and that can ensure neat arrangement of electrical cables.
2. Description of the Related Art
A universal serial bus module is an optional component for a liquid crystal display monitor. However, in order to meet the demands of different consumers, conventional liquid crystal display monitors must be designed to include or not include a universal serial bus module so as to decrease production time. However, some conventional liquid crystal display monitors do not have an extra space for receiving universal serial bus modules. In other conventional liquid crystal display monitors, it takes more time to install a universal serial bus module even though the conventional liquid crystal display monitor has an allocated space therefor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display monitor that has a monitor stand with a replaceable housing part to facilitate configuring of the liquid crystal display monitor so as to incorporate a universal serial bus module.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display monitor that can ensure neat arrangement of electrical cables.
According to the present invention, a liquid crystal display monitor includes a monitor stand and a liquid crystal display module.
The monitor stand has a base portion adapted to be disposed on a table surface, and a stand portion extending vertically from a top side of the base portion. The stand portion includes complementary first and second housing parts that cooperate to confine a vertical cable passage. The first housing part has an upper end and a lower end mounted immovably on the top side of the base portion. The monitor stand further includes an interlocking unit provided on the first and second housing parts for retaining removably the second housing part on the first housing part.
The liquid crystal display module includes a display housing mounted on the upper end of the first housing part. The display housing is formed with a connector mounting cavity that has an open rear side and an open bottom side. The cavity has an electrical connector unit mounted therein. The connector unit is adapted to mate with an electrical cable unit. The display module further includes a cover member mounted on the display housing to cover the open rear side of the cavity.
